Chapter 635
Back at the Keplers'' residence, Jasmine was ted to see that Yvonne had returned. She rushed up to
the girl and eximed tearfully, "Let me take a good look at you, Yvonne."
Having circled the girl several times, she finally let Yvonne go and said, "Thank goodness you''re
alright." She let out a long sigh of relief and felt the knots in her stomach finally loosen.
"I''m sorry I made you worry, Mom," Yvonne muttered quietly, looking worn-out as she sat down
expressionlessly on the couch. There was no telling what was going through her mind right now.
Benjamin was already furious to begin with, but when he saw how dejected his daughter looked, he
swallowed his anger and merely gave the table a rough p. All his exasperation and the profanities
that threatened to escape him werepressed into one sentence, and he bit it out through gritted
teeth, "It''s good to have you back."
Knowing that he was boiling with rage, Yvonne turned to him and nodded. "I''m sorry, Dad." Apologizing
was the only thing she could do now.
Thomas, on the other hand, started lecturing her, "Dad''spany took a pretty bad hit after what
you''ve done. You have to be more sensible from now on." With a sigh, he sat down next to her on the
couch and added in a softer tone, "If there''s ever anything you need help with, you can alwayse to
me. You don''t have to try and solve your own problems on your own, okay?"
When she heard that Benjamin''spany had taken a bad hit, Yvonne looked up and asked the three
of them, "What did Vania make you do?"
"It doesn''t matter anymore. Dad and I will fix things up, so don''t you worry about it." Thomas only
wanted her to be happy, and he had no ns to tell her about all that had happened leading up to her
release.
A dark gleam shed in Yvonne''s eyes as she fell silent once more, but countless thoughts started
welling up in her.
Benjamin went on to emphasize, "Word of Eddie''s visit at the police station has gotten out, so watch
yourself, got it?"
"Was Vania the one who leaked the news in the first ce?" Yvonne pressed.
Evading the question, Benjamin answered, "Had Eddie not visited you at the holding cell, it might have
taken us longer to wash our hands off this incident."
Yvonne had already seen the entire narrative Vania had spun about Eddie, and she was admittedly
shocked. She never imagined Vania to be so ruthless. She then took a deep breath and apologized to
her family once more before saying tiredly, "I''ll be resting in my room."
"Okay, I''ll stay with you," Jasmine offered immediately, standing up and falling in step behind Yvonne.
…
Meanwhile, the inte blew up after Eddie''s involvement was made known to the public. All the
Upon reading the news, Eddie was so furious that he threw his phone onto the ground and shattered its
screen. Not only had paying Yvonne a visit at the police station not reaped him any benefits, he had
alsonded himself in hot water. Well-yed, Vania, he thought mutinously, seething with rage.
He was starting to get a taste of what hitting rock-bottom felt like.
Next to him, Bailey stood stiffly and dared not make a sound.
"I want to destroy Vania," Eddie hissed menacingly, clenching his jaw. He hated that she was always
meddling with his ns. The chances of him bringing down Hanson were slim to begin with, and now,
they were almostpletely gone.
As things were, he could only resort to using the only weapon he had left in his arsenal. "How are
things over at the school?"
"I''m afraid Lilith and Tilly have not found the chance to get closer to the Luke Family, sir," Bailey replied
cautiously and quietly, worried that the slightest thing might tick Eddie off.
Naturally, Tilly and her mother, Thea, were working for Eddie. The mother and daughter were hired to
approach Hanson and his family after Lilith could not get the job done. Unfortunately, Tilly''s attempts to
forge a friendship or even acquaint herself with the Luke Family had been unsessful, and the only
bright side to all this was that the Luke siblings did not find her an eyesore.

"What do you mean they haven''t found the chance?" Eddie growled, casting a sideways nce at
Bailey as his features twisted into a malicious grimace.
